Nike Golf Athletes Francesco Molinari and Carly Booth Win In Europe

The Nike Swoosh Dominates in Europe with Victories from Francesco Molinari and Carly Booth

-Molinari and Booth Secure Wins with 14 Nike Clubs in the Bag Including the new Nike VR_S Driver-

The Swoosh was atop the leaderboard in Europe this weekend as Nike Golf athletes Francesco Molinari and Carly Booth secure wins at the Reale Seguros Open de Espana and the Aberdeen Asset Management Ladies Scottish Open, respectively.

Using the new Nike VR_S Driver, a prototype Nike Method Core putter and the revolutionary Nike 20XI X golf ball, Molinari shot a final round 65, the best round on the European Tour this week. Molinari, who is currently fourth (80%) in greens in regulation on the European PGA Tour, won by a three-shot margin to secure his third European Tour Victory.

“I just went out today knowing that if the putter was a little bit hotter I had a chance,” Molinari said. “So I just tried to stay calm and I got off to a great start and hit the ball very well. So everything felt easy, even if it wasn’t.”

On the Ladies European Tour, Booth grabbed her first career title, becoming the youngest winner of the Scottish Open. The 19-year-old Scottish teenager, who described her victory as a “dream come true,” also used the new Nike VR_S Driver, a Method Putter and the 20XI X golf ball for her win. This triumph comes just three weeks after her recent victory on the Ladies European Tour Access Series Developmental Tour.

Molinari and Booth’s respective victories bring to 33 the number of global wins with the Nike Method Putter. Generating more distance for every shot, the Nike VR_S is an extension of the original VR line, which has more than 85 worldwide professional wins including three major championships. On the body, both Molinari and Booth wore Nike Golf Apparel and Nike Golf Footwear.
